BY DIVINE DIRECTION

J. BUROUGHS STOKES

What a wonderful thing it would be if men carried on all their daily activities by divine direction! With infinite intelligence, Mind, directing every activity, there could not be a single trace of discord, but only success, joy, freedom.

Is it possible for such direction to be experienced today? Yes, many Christian Scientists are daily demonstrating the truth of Mary Baker Eddy's profound and far-reaching statement in the textbook. "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 469) . "There can be but one Mind, because there is but one God."

In the degree that we hold to the fact that there is but one Mind, and demonstrate that this one Mind is altogether good, never evil, and expresses love, never hate, truth not error, we find our present experience rich in harmony, success, and happiness. We see that, as perfect ideas of God, we possess and reflect infinite intelligence, wisdom, and understanding. We are, therefore, never at the mercy of ignorance, sin, discord, or any of the multifarious beliefs of the carnal mind. Neither can we be subject to attacks of error which would undermine the peace and joy of right activity.
